Tells You Exactly How to Play
FATpick's enhanced tablature notation shows you the string and fret where each note is played.
Smooth-scrolling animation shows you when - and for how long.
Just pluck the string when the note hits the playhead.
Real-Time Feedback for Rapid Improvement
A sophisticated note detection algorithm provides instant feedback on your rhythm and accuracy as you play along with any guitar. No special cables or equipment are needed - FATpick works with any guitar and your device's built-in microphone.
When learning a new skill a tight feedback loop is key, so FATpick evaluates your performance in real-time. See instant feedback on the notes you hit and miss, or detailed early/perfect/late timing, or turn off color-coding altogether and wait for the performance summary at the end of the song.
Game Mechanics Make It Fun
Playing your favorite songs in an intuitive, game-like app - guitar practice never feels like a chore. Challenges, leaderboards, trophies, and more keep you motivated and engaged.
But FATpick is more than a game. Objective performance feedback is a powerful learning tool. Identify ways to improve your playing with instant feedback. Track your progress with historical stats.
1600+ Songs Out of the Box
(growing every day - and you're free to add more)
Most songs contain several instruments or parts to choose from - like lead, rhythm, and bass guitar - more than 7,800 independently playable tabs are included.
Listen to the full score to get feel for the song, or mute the part you're playing to put yourself right in the middle of the band.

Tools for Guitarists
Our goal is to make FATpick your go-to app for guitar practice — not just the best way to read guitar tabs or learn new songs but a guitar practice companion with the tools and information you want at your fingertips while you practice.
With in-app tools like the metronome or chromatic tuner and reference content like the chord database, track heat map and fretboard charts the information you need is never more than a couple of clicks away.
Free for a limited time.
FATpick has been available for free - no ads, no time limits, no premium content - in order to "field test" the app in diverse environments. This policy remains in effect, but the field testing phase will soon come to an end.
FATpick is still free. But we anticipate switching to a paid model in the coming months. When we do, early adopters - and only early adopters - will be eligible for a special offer that includes a signficant discount from the regular price.
